  1. Darn, I was tired from my day and napped through the time when the Nintendo Direct was scheduled to be broadcast live; guess I’d better catch up on it now… I’m still going to do a live reactions thread, even though it’s after-the-fact now… will be ignoring notifs until done

      uh… what time do I have to scroll ahead to for the actual start? youtube.com/watch?v=EhDFA_O7zNg
      1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
        ok looks like the actual start is at 29 minutes in

          …more FE3H?
          1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
            oh no, it’s a Warriors spinoff for it

              1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                I guess since FE3H already ran on the Warriors engine, development ought to have been easy enough…

                    more Advance Wars news, nice… wonder who the VAs are…

                      Heh, No Man’s Sky coming to Switch; I knew someone who was pretty hyped for its original release, which I hear was a letdown… it was supposed to have improved a lot since release though, so I guess we’re getting the improved version?

                        (one advantage to having missed the live broadcast of this Direct is that I can allow myself to pause)

                          Nice, new Mario Strikers… not much of a sports person myself, but I bet people are happy about this

                            Did they confirm NextLevel Games is developing? I’m assuming they would, since Nintendo bought them, but, well, you know what they say about assuming…

                              ok so here’s the Splatoon 3 part

                                so, more Salmon Run… still no news of a “Creative Mode” for it yet, though…

                                  huh, Front Mission remake; interesting…

                                    so, both a Final Fantasy (Chocobo) kart racer, and a Disney/Pixar kart racer… why not just combine them into a single Kingdom Hearts kart racer?
                                    1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                                      Ah, a port of The Force Unleashed, interesting; I had been interested in that on Wii but never got it…
                                      1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                                        Assassin’s Creed collection… lots of ports of games from a decade ago! (I’m not necessarily complaining, tbc; I think it’s cool to have all these options for things to play available, even if I’ll never get to the majority of them)

                                          so, first Front Mission, and now a Gundam game… trend of mech games leading up to a new XCX port/sequel?
                                          1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                                            Chrono Cross remaster, interesting; I liked Chrono Trigger when I played it on DS, but heard that Cross kinda stepped all over its plot? Heard its soundtrack is good at least, though…

                                              wait… they managed to recover RADICAL DREAMERS from the Satellaview?! Never thought I’d see the day!

                                                  lol “Mouthful Mode” is going to inspire some memes, I can tell
                                                  1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                                                    yeah Kirby and the Forgotten Land is definitely the game I’m most hyped for from this Direct so far

                                                      Hm, they’ve got Ohtani speaking Japanese in the trailer for MLB The Show; maybe they *will* actually be giving it a proper Japanese localization after all?

                                                        Still disappointed the Kingdom Hearts ports are cloud version

                                                          Klonoa for Switch, nice; I’d been meaning to try the series since the Wii one, but never got around to it

                                                            Portal ports for Switch… I still have them on my Steam account, but I don’t think Valve ever got around to upgrading the Mac versions to 64-bit, so I haven’t been able to play them ever since macOS dropped 32-bit support…
